Do you have any more details about the tank or coils you are looking for? I'll help search. I don't know if you have used any of the iclear 30s. They worked pretty good for me and were the only pre-made coils that didn't make me want to climb out on the ledge.
Honestly Dog, I'm not really looking for a tank - what I really want is exactly what I have, except they may be discontinuing the 510/eGo compatible attys (or charging out of the derriere for them) which forces me to look around for something new (maybe). I tried a tank ages ago (like years..) and I wasn't a fan. I like to drip, I hated carts too lol. I did mention I hated change 
No worries. Are there any model numbers of what we are looking for? Maybe off a past order you made? I want to help but I'm out of my element. I did some looking around but need more specifics.
Got the V3 mini yesterday. Both passed auth check on the Svoemesto site. First build was way too close to the air hole and it tasted like a burning tire. Moved it about 2mm out, better. V3 build deck is not as nice as the V5, about the same as the lite. The mini runs hot, probably due to the smaller chamber and about 1.5W apart to vape the same. I think the V5 has better flavor and obviously more capacity but the mini is going to be nice on a small mod for stuffing into my pocket at work. Being able to top fill is worth the price of admission.
I ran them both in abuse mode yesterday. I was able to make them flood once each. The mini was an effort and on the V5 I forgot to close the juice holes when I filled it. The air adjustment on the mini is a PIA but it's set-and-forget. V5 is set one dot and the smallest MTL, I like tight draw. The only thing I haven't tried yet is heat. My lite would flood itself if left in the truck when it's hot out (Phoenix hot) but I think if I spin the juice holes closed it will be ok. It's supposed to be 106 today so maybe I'll toss them in the truck parked in the sun and see what happens.
If these operate like my Lite did I'm set for years.

Hi and welcome to the porch. Once upon a time, seems like long, long ago, I too was a 501 atty dripper. But nope, no longer. Anyway, here's a couple links I found for 510 atty's.
Genuine Boge™ 510 Dripping Atomizer - Vapor Authority
510 LR Long Barrel Bridgeless 1.5ohm Atomizer (Cisco Spec)
I never used the Cisco's but always heard they were top shelf. When it was still around I use IO6 atty's from Ikenvape. They were quite good. Sadly 'it' went out of business.
Agreed, if it was a bottom screw fill I would probably have passed on it but with the top fill I can top 'er off pretty easy with a squeeze bottle at my desk at work.
I can use the V5 at home and not have to get off my fat .... for hours.
Close the juice holes & vape it almost dry. The juice gets thin as it heats up, & makes it easier to leak.

How do our K5 users mount & trap your coils before snipping?

Thats the screw in the center of the two shoulders (he, he). I thread the wire around the screw and inside the shoulders. The snip the coil tail off where the X is. The wire comes from the coil and goes in/around the screw where the ^ is. Crude diagram, but I hope you get my meaning.

I keep a mandrel in the coil and lay 'it' on top of the air hole. Try to hold it aligned/in place and tighten one screw, the the other. Then I left it a couple mm high over the air hole. I leave the mandrel in, and check the leads for clearance. If needed I bend then a tich up. Leave the mandrel in while do it all eliminated distorting the coil while I'm working on it.
Don't have one, but it looks to be a similar concept to the Subtank RBA. See if the screws are long enough to back out for enough clearance for your coil lead to slide in from the side. If they are, just lay 'em in, tighten down. The screw head will mash the lead and make a good connection, no wraparound needed. Snip close or wiggle off.
Thanks Mike thats what I've been dooing. Kinda wondering if it's necessary to wrap around the screw or could just stick it thru on one side & tighten it. Ever tried thatn or heard of anyone doing it?

I turned 60 in April and just last month begin to vape. I picked up the cigarettes about two weeks prior and at my wife's request tried vaping. Bought a Smoke V8 stick kit to start. Liked it so well not even a week later I bought a Smoke Proctor mod kit. Well it is now about three weeks and I have an RDA from Goon. Bought a few different coils from AVS in SS and have ordered a Tsunami 24, a Griffin 25 Plus and a Serpent SMM to give them a shot.
Last night I did my first build on the Goon 1.5. It took me a bit, fiddling with the coils and then wicking it, but first draw was great! I normally vape at around 70 watts, but dropped it down to 45 watts and so far, I like it better.
The build is not a work of art but the results really exceed my expectations in terms of flavor. Looking forward to getting the other three decks.
On the porch daily here at home.

Kenna ... that would work I suppose. But be careful you trim it good and close. There's a tight tolerance between the chamber that screws and the outside of the build deck. You surely don't want to chance the cut off tag end touching the inside of it and causing a hard short. That actually happened to me once 'in the beginning' before I took to wrapping totally around he screw.
If you woke up today older than yesterday, you're fully qualified to sit on the porch. And if you woke up today, not older than yesterday, you must share your secret, then you're fully qualified to sit on the porch. Welcome!
Great! ... another v-vert (vaping convert) ... Nice going! Sure looks like you're going full tilt getting started. I'm not familiar with the gear your using but it seems to be working for you.!
Welcome!
